Our team is made up of entrepreneurs, engineers, product managers, researchers and venture capitalists who share a passion for accelerating the adoption of cutting edge technologies in Biology.

Our first products are a digital personalisation engine that recommends contraception types and brands based on our proprietary algorithm and a genetic test that can identify a woman's specific risks and predispositions. Our mission is to revolutionise how women decide about their contraception, empowering them to make the most suitable choice to their preference and unique biology. Our customers are all women of reproductive age (15-49). Women already using contraception but are dissatisfied, deciding for the first time, or had their life circumstances changed. (eg. pregnancy, relationship changes). Another key customer persona is parents helping their daughters choose contraception. Our partners will involve clinics and telehealth companies as personalised contraception prescribing will enable them to provide higher quality care at reduced costs.
